3D to 2D


3D to 2D



For my conversion project, I used a still image from my soap alteration. The color and varying texture made me fascinated at what I could do to change it. I started by taking a wide close-up image of the soap and highlighter blended together.



I then split them into 4 sections and layered them on top of one another in photoshop. I drastically adjusted brightness, contrast, and saturation for each independent layer, rotating them and mixing it up to allow variety. 

Next, I created an outline layer with a white background by drawing black lines to create triangles. All lines attach to other lines so that the entire page is filled with geometric outlines. 

After that, I erased some of the white within a few scattered shapes to allow the layer immediately underneath to show through. After I was satisfied, I merged it down to join the two layers and allow the process to be completed over again. 

I repeated this 4 times, with each layer. Ultimately, the totally merged and completed image came out like this:
